Hey, I have a 1997 ES300 and all of the suden my passanger door stop opening. The car will be completly unlocked, the rest of the doors will open just fine, it's just the stupid passenger door. I am hoping someone knows a quick fix, I really don't want to have to go to the Lexus dealership and replace the lock or something like that. So if you have any idea, please let me know.

Thanks guys.

 

try the key and feel if the lock is working compare it to the drivers side

 

I just went out to try that. It did nothing for the passenger door. I even tried holding the key in the unlock postion to get it open from the outside, but still nothing happend.

 

had the same problem with my drivers door had to have toyota replace the lock actuator assy. not cheap 600 parts and labor as I didnt want to damage my door panel... maybe sombody here knows how to open the door without destroying the door panel... phoenix maybe...

 

I sure hope so, I don't want to have to pay up the @$$ for this little problem. But it does need to be fixed.
